Description

5. ESTIMATION OF DISPLACEMENT AND MAIN DIMENSIONS General design characteristics of a ship may be described in three main groups • • •

The displacement The main dimensions, and The hull form

In this chapter we will deal with the estimation of size and main dimensions during the early stages of ship design.

5.1. The Displacement of a Ship The displacement is the weight of the ship, which is equivalent to the weight of water displaced by the ship as it floats. Light ship is the weight of the ship and its permanent equipment. Load displacement is the weight of the ship when it is filled with fuel and cargo to its designed capacity, that is, when it is immersed to its load line. The displacement tonnage is

∆ = DWT + LS Where DWT is the Deadweight tonnage and LS indicates the Lightship weight. Light ship displacement is the weight of the ship excluding cargo, fuel, ballast, stores, passengers and crew. The main components of the light ship are the weight of structure, outfit, main and auxiliary machinery, and other equipment. Deadweight tonnage is the weight, in metric tons, of the cargo, stores, fuel, passengers, and crew carried when the ship is immersed to its maximum summer load line. Cargo deadweight refers to the revenue generating cargo capacity of a ship and is determined by deducting the weight of fuel, water, stores, crew, passengers and other items necessary for voyage from the deadweight tonnage. The ratio of the deadweight at the load draught to the corresponding displacement is termed the deadweight coefficient

CD =

DWT ∆

Typical values of CD for different ship types are presented in Table 5.1. Table 5.1. DWT/∆ ratios for merchant ships Ship type CD Passenger ship 0.35 General cargo ship 0.62-0.72 Large bulk carrier 0.78-0.84 Small bulk carrier 0.71-0.77 Container ship 0.70-0.75 Oil tanker 0.80-0.86 Product tanker 0.77-0.83 Ro-Ro 0.50-0.59 Trawler 0.37-0.45 LPG carrier 0.62 Kafalı (1988) recommends the following formulae for small cargo ships and tankers Tanker Cargo Ship

DWT 0.775DWT = ∆ DWT + 250 DWT 0.750DWT = ∆ DWT + 300 5.1

5.2. Main Dimensions The main dimensions (L, B, T, D) affect the many techno-economical performance characteristics of a ship. Therefore the proper selection of the main dimensions is vitally important in the early stages of design. There may be an infinite number of combinations of length, breadth, depth and draught, which satisfy the main requirements, and restrictions of the design problem. The designer will attempt to find the best combination, however there are too many factors to be investigated within a limited time period. Therefore, the designer, most commonly, will use an iterative approach and the resultant main dimensions will be a compromise solution rather than the optimum values. The estimation of main dimensions will require an iterative process based on the following order • • • •

Estimate the design displacement. Estimate length based on displacement and speed Estimate breadth based on length Estimate block coefficient based on length and speed

• •

Calculate draught to satisfy ∆ = LBTC B Calculate the required freeboard and hence the minimum required depth

Dimensional constraints may impose a limit on length, breadth, draught and air draught. A constraint on length may be set by the dimensions of canal locks or docks. It may also be set by a need to be able to turn the ship in a narrow waterway. The constrained length is usually the overall length but in some cases the constraint may apply at the waterline at which the ship is floating. A limit on breadth is usually set by canal or dock lock gates, but the breadth of vehicle ferries is sometimes limited by the dimensions and position of shore ramps giving vehicles access to bow or stern doors. The outreach of other shore based cargo handling devices such as grain elevators or coal hoists can limit the desirable distance of the offshore hatch side from the dockside and thereby limit the breadth of the ship. A draught limit is usually set by the depth of water in the ports and approaches to which the ship is intended to trade. For very large tankers the depth of the sea itself must be considered. The air draught of a ship is the vertical distance from the waterline to the highest point of the ship’s structure and denotes the ship’s ability to pass under a bridge or other obstruction, which forms part of the projected route.

5.2.1. Length The length of a ship will affect most of the technical and economical performance requirements. The following will be observed when two ships with the same displacement but with different length values are compared. •



The longer ship will have larger wetted surface area and hence higher viscous resistance. However, both the wave making resistance and the propulsive performance will improve with and increasing length. Therefore, fast ships should have higher lengths compared with slow speed vessels. Both the weight and building cost of ship will increase with length. 5.2

• • • • • •

Long ships may achieve the same speed with less engine power; hence the increasing length will reduce the operational costs. Increasing length with constant displacement may result in losses in capacity Increasing length may detoriate the intact stability characteristics. Increasing length will improve the directional stability but worsen the turning ability Increasing length will require a higher value of freeboard Increasing length will improve the vertical plane motions, including heave, pitch, vertical accelerations, deck wetness and probability of slamming

Many empirical formulae have been proposed to estimate the design length. These formulae are usually based on displacement and design speed. Ayre ( )

5.2.2. Breadth The effects of breadth on techno-eceonomic performance characteristics of a ship can be summarized as follows. • • • •

Increasing breadth will increase the resistance and hence the engine power and operating costs Increasing breadth will improve the initial stability characteristics. The weight and cost of hull will increase with increasing breadth Roll period will reduce with increasing breadth

The breadth of conventional ship types may be estimated based on the length as shown in the following formulae Ship Type Passenger ship General cargo

(Munro-Smith)

The breadth of containerships can be estimated on the basis of the number of containers located transversely in the ship. The standard ISO container has a width of 2.44 m. However, each container requires an allowance for clearence, guides etc. of about 240 mm so that each container requires a width of 2.68 m. Thus the number n of cells located transversely in the ship require 2.68n metres. Since the width available for containers is about 80 percent of the ship’s breadth, then B=3.35n.

5.2.3. Draught Draught of a ship is less effective on technical and economical performance compared with length or breadth. Therefore the draught is usually selected to satisfy the displacement equation ∇ = LBTC B . The draught may be limited due to the depths of port, harbour and canals. Low draught increases the risk of bow slamming in rough seas.

5.7

5.2.4. Depth Depth of a ship may be estimated as the sum of design draught and the freeboard. The weight and cost of the ship will increase with increasing depth. Classification Societies may impose certain limits on L/D ratio due to the longitudinal strength characteristics. However lower values of L/D may result in buckling problems. The depth will increase the height of centre of gravity which will affect the stability and seakeeping characteristics of the vessel. The following formulae may be suggested for an initial estimate of depth. Ship Type Passenger ship Cargo

L, B, D in meters. The depth of a container ship is in general controlled by the number of containers to be carried in the hold. Thus

D = 2.43n + h where n is the number of tiers of containers in holds and h is the height of double bottom.

5.2.5. Length to Beam Ratio L/B ratio affects powering and directional stability. A steady decrease in L/B in recent years can be seen in an effort to reduce ship cost and with increased design effort to produce good inflow to the propeller with the greater beam. Watson&Gilfillan (1977) proposes the following values

L = 6.5 B L = 4.0 + 0.025(L − 30) B L = 4.0 B

L ≥ 130 m 30 ≤ L ≤ 130 m L ≤ 30 m

5.2.6. Length to Depth Ratio L/D ratio is a primary factor in longitudinal strength. Classification Societies, in general, require special consideration L/D>15.

5.2.7. Beam to Depth Ratio B/D ratio has a major impact on stability.

5.2.8. Beam to Draught Ratio If this ratio is too small stability may be a problem; too large residuary resistance goes up.

This relation must be solved iteratively. Assume a value for LBP and put it into the RHS. Hence evaluate the LHS and arrive at a value for LBP say LBP'. Put this value into the RHS and find a new value for LBP say LBP''. Compare LBP'' with LBP'. When the difference between the two values is sufficiently small then take LBP = LBP''. It must be said that it is not so easy to "fine tune" the Ayre formula to a particular basis ship because it uses two numeric coefficients and it is not obvious whether one alone should be adjusted, or both. However it appears to give initial estimates of length which are consistent with modern practice despite its age. It is therefore still quite useful to the designer.

5.7

Block Coefficient

The variation of Block Coefficient, CB, with Speed and Length is shown in a diagram taken from ‘Practical Ship Design’ by D. G. M. Watson (based on a Figure in the1977 RINA Paper by Watson & Gilfillan). Over the years segments of the curve appropriate to particular ship types have been presented as linear relationships known as "Alexander Formulae" of the form: CB = K - 0.5 V/ √Lf

or

CB = K - 1.68 Fn

where K varies from 1.12 to 1.03 depending on V/ √Lf or Fn and

V is speed in knots, Lf is length in feet v is speed in metres/second, L is length in metres 2 g is acceleration due to gravity in metres/second

The mean line shown in the diagram can be approximated by the equation:CB = 0.7 + 0.125 tan-1((23-100Fn)/4) where the term in brackets is taken in radians.
